The Charities
The Speedy Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to preventing suicide, supporting mental health and promoting conversations to end the stigma surrounding both. The Foundation was formed in 2011 in the loving memory of Jeret “Speedy” Peterson, an Olympic freestyle aerials medalist whose life was characterized by his service to others.
Junior Achievement of Idaho is an organization that teaches the difference between “Wants” and “Needs.” Yet to those not familiar with us, it may seem like we are a want in a world of need. The truth is we are filling a critical need…building the future. There are many important and worthwhile organizations responding to the challenges of today, but we are focused on trying to solve the problems of tomorrow.
The Jayden DeLuca Foundation was established in 2008 to honor Jayden Riley DeLuca, who passed away due to a cardiac condition. It was established with the goal of helping children and their families fight cardiac diseases, while offering support and encouragement to all those affected by pediatric heart conditions. The foundation looks to promote awareness of cardiac diseases and to aid in further scientific and medical research of pediatric heart conditions.
